Jewelry Giveaway: Real Butterfly Wing Earrings by Athenianaire

You don't have to fly to Madagascar to gape at the majesty of its native sunset moth. You won't even have to pay for shipping if you win these beautiful butterfly wing earrings from Winged Art by Athenianaire! Although the Madagascan sunset moth isn't technically a real butterfly, its magnificent wings are just as colorful as its more popular Lepidoptera relative. A reflective emerald green portion has been preserved in 8mm round earrings with sterling silver posts.

Isn't it amazing how such fragile beauty can live on even after natural death? Many specimens from legal conservation farms are too imperfect or damaged for collectors to display on their walls, so Rebecca upcycles the wing fragments into wearable art. Not only does her butterfly jewelry spread wings of joy, but purchasing her materials helps to conserve land for populations to thrive all over the world.

I like https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152432107045234&set=a.10152350316950234.935465.323353100233&type=3&theater. There's no name, but I like that you can tell that it is a butterfly wing, cause then you can tell people it is a necklace that helps conservation.

I love all of your stuff but I absolutely love the Blue morpho ring and I love these earings. Love the colors as green is the color of my birthstone for August. These would make a great addition to my collection!

Welcome

Enjoy a woodland stroll through the whimsical ramblings of a fantasy artist's handmade blog. Keep in mind that the horned beast rustling that brush behind you might not be a deer. And those glowing lights flickering through the trees definitely aren't fireflies.
